2nd Edition
Legendary 80's release from Factrix with the aid of Monte Cazazza, plus guest help from Los Angeles Free Music Society crew, Rick Potts, Fred Nielsen.
Some info on the release: Rare issue from the 80's, Factrix in their best moments, together with a crew consisted by Monte Cazazza and several LAFMS members, like Rick Potts & Fred Nielsen. Released on the great Subterranean label (Flipper, Z'ev, Nervous Gender, Chrome, Leather Nun, Negative Trend, Caroliner Rainbow, etc.).
Collaborating with local kindred spirits Mark Pauline (of Survival Research Laboratories) and Monte Cazazza, FACTRIX provided the soundtrack for several multimedia shockfests. The most infamous involved dead animals grotesquely roboticized by Pauline (like his patented "Rabot" made out of metal, electrical wire, and rotting bunny). This sort of audience-confronting Art/anti-Art can be traced through '60s outfits like the Vienna Aktionists (pig's blood, self-mutilation, pagan ritual), all the way back to Dada. Factrix's Cole Palme echoed the famous flinch-inducing image in Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou", when he talked of the group's desire "to take a razor to the mind's eye,"...
Cazazza, based primarily in San Francisco during his early career, is credited with coining the phrase "Industrial Music for Industrial People". This was later used to encapsulate the record label and the artists representing it. Later, the noise collages and experimental sound manipulation coming out of Industrial records came to be known as industrial music. Cazazza had built up an underground reputation as a particularly volatile performer with a potentially dangerous and antisocial aesthetic. Re/Search Magazine's Industrial Culture Handbook described his work as "insanity-outbreaks thinly disguised as art events". The Futurist Sintesi show near the end of 1975 was heralded on a promo flier as "Sex - religious show; giant statue of Je-sus got chainsawed and gang rappped into oblivion".
Cazazza did not limit his "performances" to the familiar dynamic of stage, audience and audience reaction. Much of his work involved acts designed for maximum shock value. In a well known incident, while a student at the Oakland College of Arts and Crafts, Cazazza created a cement waterfall that permanently disabled the main stairway of the building. He once created a 15'x15' screw-together metal swas- tika and was known to visit his friends with a dead cat and formaldehyde that he would use to set the cat alight.
Much of his early work is considered obscene and virtually impossible to find. He worked with both print and sound collage, film, performance, and presentation. He was also heavily involved in the "Mail art" movement of the mid-1970s to early '80s. Close to the "circuit" of Boyd Rice, Nocturnal Emissions, 23 Skidoo and Vagina Dentata Organ, Nurse with wound, Mnemonists, minimal / synth and Zoviet France, Zos Kia, Hafler Trio and DDAA, De Fabriek and Whitehouse, Coil, Current 93 and Organum. His recordings with Throbbing Gristle in early 1977 are highly regarded among collectors and continue to be esteemed as some of the most significant to come out of that period. Some of his early output was collected and released by The Grey Area of Mute in 1992 under the title, The Worst of Monte Cazazza. Cazazza worked frequently with Factrix, an early industrial and experimental group from San Francisco, and recorded soundtracks for Mark Pauline and Survival Research Laboratories. More recent activity has included co-creating the independent distribution and film company, MMFilms with Michelle Handelman and various soundtrack recordings. Cazazza sent out photos of himself in an electric chair on the day of convicted murderer Gary Gilmore's execution. One of these was mistakenly printed in a Hong Kong newspaper as the real execution. Cazazza was also photographed alongside COUM Transmissions/Throbbing Gristle members Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti for the "Gary Gilmore Memorial Society" postcard, in which the three artists posed blindfolded and tied to chairs with actual loaded guns pointed at them to depict Gilmore's execution..
